UK cover reveal for CRICK. There may be some tweaks, and a more focused quote, but this is what we have. Only say nice things. Out in November (!), pre-order from your local bookshop or somewhere nice.

Research support for rare diseases, which cumulatively affect ~30 million Americans, is primarily derived from NIH. Such work is exemplified by Prof Anna Greka @broadinstitute.org in a new Ground Truths podcast. Open-access, w/ transcript, video, no ads erictopol.substack.com/p/anna-greka...
